      Test pre-requisites

      • 1 WebDAV server supporting SSL (HTTPS)
      • 2 WebDAV shares
        • Without authentication
        • With Basic authentication
      • WebDAV repository enabled
      • 4 different WebDAV instances in Moodle:
        • 'WebDAV None' which does not require Auth
        • 'WebDAV None SSL' which does not require authentication but HTTPS
        • 'WebDAV Basic' which requires Basic authentication
        • 'WebDAV Basic SSL' which requires Basic authentication and HTTPS
      • Each share should contain multiple directories, sub directories, and files on every level.
      • Some directories and files must contain non-ascii characters

      Test steps

      1. Go to your private files
      2. Click on add
      3. Navigate to each WebDAV repository
      4. From each of them, make sure:
      • You can navigate in every directory
      • You can download any file
      • Files downloaded are correctly saved (check their content)

      WebDAV Apache configuration file

      This is my configuration for the 2 shares

      /etc/apache2/conf.d/webdav.conf

      Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav
      		 
      <Location /webdav>
      		 
        Dav On
      		 
        AuthType Basic
      		 
        AuthName "webdav"
      		 
        AuthUserFile /var/www/webdav/passwd.dav
      		 
        Require valid-user
      		 
       </Location>
      		 
       
      		 
      Alias /webdav_none /var/www/webdav_none
      		 
       <Location /webdav_none>
      		 
        Dav On
      		 
        Allow from all
      		 
        Satisfy any
      		 
       </Location>

      I've been trying out the various repository plugins and whilst ones such as google docs, flickr seem to work, I can't get the webdav repositories to work.

      I've tried the webdav repository with both my own webdav server and some of the servers listed here but whatever I setup, when trying to access files using the file picker I always get an empty file listing.

      For example, I've accessed http://demo.sabredav.org (id=testuser/passwd=test) from windows explorer and all works fine, but if I setup a repository using those details shown in the screenshot I just get an empty file list when I choose the repository from add files.
